Foundry Fellowship
A two-semester fellowship focused on going from idea to initial prototype.
Do you have a product idea but don’t know where to go from there?
Do you need funding to bring your idea to life?
Do you need guidance on taking that cardboard mockup and making it real?
The Foundry Fellowship provides Babson, Olin, and Wellesley students with the funding and mentorship to turn early ideas into working prototypes. Whether you’re an individual or a team, the Fellowship gives you up to $1,500 in project funding, guidance from experienced mentors, and access to the Foundry’s tools and community.
This program is designed to help you make the jump from idea to working prototype. You don’t have to have all the skills in place. We’re looking for drive and ambition. Find a team at the BLEND Event, or apply on your own. Then spend the next two semesters being guided through the process of bringing your idea to life.
